Automatic Soldering Iron Switch Circuit

Last Updated on May 9, 2020 by Admin Leave a Comment

Everyone knows that it is really quite simple to miss to switch off the soldering iron.

If you happen to in case walk out the house along with other issues in your thoughts, it is just likely to come back to look for a heap of smoking rubble.

This might be particularly distressing, particularly when these types of calamity can be simply prevented.

The outcomes are generally not so extraordinary, however the lowest you can expect is a much larger electricity bill.

How the circuit works

The automatic soldering iron switch circuit functions the following. IC1 is an oscillator split by 2^13 which often creates a time period of approximately a quarter of an hour.

At the end of this time a LED flashes and a buzzer sounds.

Unless S1 is pressed within 5Q seconds, the circuit switches off on its own, and also switches off the soldering iron.

If S1 is pressed, IC1 re-starts the 15 minute period.

However the prototype circuit operated as per expectation, it is just feasible that 'spikes' within the mains supply line will result in the relay to pull itself back in.

In this instance the relay will need to have an additional contact, to positively switch it off.

This then needs a third pole of S1, to link this contact at switch on.

The switching can be carried out making use of two different push switches which usually needs to be pressed at the same time.

If a relay is obtainable with an functioning voltage apart from 12 volts, then the circuit could be controlled at the relay voltage, by changing the power supply and regulator.

The supply voltage for this automatic soldering iron switch circuit must, on the other hand, be maintained somewhere between 3 and 18 volts.

About Admin

Hey friends, Thanks a bunch for stopping by this site! I am an engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication. One of my passions is gathering information from all sorts of electronics books and tutorials. I then take that information and compile it into a language that is super easy to understand. My goal is to make those complex electronics circuit concepts and technical terms much more accessible for all the new and budding electronics engineers out there. I can also design customized circuit diagrams as required by the users.
If you have any questions related to this field, please do not hesitate to drop a comment! I am always here and ready to help you out with any queries you might have. I cannot wait to hear from you!
